The Big 12 officials in Saturday’s Kansas-Missouri game allowed a punt to occur on a free kick in violation of Rule 2 Section 16 Article 6 of NCAA Football rules. That Big 12 officiating crew has been removed from its next scheduled assignment on Friday, September 12.

“We believe we have one of the best officiating programs in college football," said Big 12 Chief Football & Competition Officer Scott Draper. "When the Conference’s high standard for officiating is not met, the Big 12 will take action.”
